Department of Real Estate, Planning and Geoinformatics

A well-functioning built environment for housing, business and mobility is realized through wise solutions in land use. At the Department of Real Estate, Planning and Geoinformatics, there are three research groups – Real Estate Economics, Land Use Planning and Geoinformatics – as well as the Institute of Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing. They produce knowledge, tools and experts for skilful development and management of our built environments.

The department produces high-quality research and education in areas dealing with challenges of growing societal and environmental importance: population growth, urbanization, climate change, globalization and digitalization. The department is also centrally involved in the Centre of Excellence in Laser Scanning Research, financed by the Academy of Finland.
